Abstract

An apparatus is for constructing a guide line for a road. The apparatus includes a painting apparatus part that stores a lane paint, is driven by receiving power, and supplies the lane paint. A nozzle part is installed in the painting apparatus part and sprays the lane paint supplied from the painting apparatus part on a road to form a guide line for a road including at least one of a directional mark and a lane. An adjustment part is installed in the painting apparatus part and adjusts at least one of a location and an interval of the lane paint sprayed from the nozzle part.

Claims

1. An apparatus for constructing a guide line for a road, the apparatus comprising:

a painting apparatus part that stores a lane paint, is driven by receiving power, and supplies the lane paint;

a nozzle part that is installed in the painting apparatus part and sprays the lane paint supplied from the painting apparatus part to form a guide line for a road including at least one of a directional mark and a lane;

the nozzle part comprising

a first nozzle member that is installed at one side of the painting apparatus part and receives and sprays a first lane paint from the painting apparatus part to form the lane, and

a second nozzle member that is installed at the other side of the painting apparatus part and receives a second lane paint from the painting apparatus part and sprays the second lane paint on the lane to form the directional mark and form the guide line for the road; and

an adjustment part that is installed in the painting apparatus part and adjusts at least one of a location and an interval of the lane paint sprayed from the nozzle part;

the adjustment part presetting an interval and a time at which the second lane paint is sprayed from the second nozzle member so that the directional mark is formed at a predetermined interval.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second nozzle member forms the directional mark having a “

shape.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second nozzle member comprises at least two nozzles.

4. A method of constructing a guide line for a road, the method comprising:

a first step in which a painting apparatus part is driven by receiving power to supply a lane paint to a nozzle part, the nozzle part comprising a first nozzle member and a second nozzle member;

a second step in which an adjustment part adjusts at least one of a location and an interval of the lane paint sprayed from the nozzle part; and

a third step in which the nozzle part sprays the lane paint supplied from the painting apparatus part on a road to form a guide line for a road including at least one of a directional mark and a lane;

the third step comprising

a step in which the first nozzle member sprays a first lane paint to form the lane, and

a step in which the second nozzle member sprays a second lane paint to form the directional mark and form the guide line for the road;

wherein the second step comprises the adjustment part presetting an interval and a time at which the second lane paint is sprayed from the second nozzle member so that the directional mark is formed at a predetermined interval.
